  Case: Does not care, should I?
There's a student who comes into class and just doesn't care. We try to get him to learn and do work but he says it's pointless. I discovered that this student doesn't have a father and his mother is on every drug imaginable. How can I expect this student to do any work at all or even give a shit about anything we do in school when he has to think about where he's sleeping at night. Everything I can teach him in a classroom means nothing, why should he even care?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You should always care about your students, sometimes like in this situation you're the only person who does. This student needs to understand that education is the best way to give him a better life. Having an education leads to a career which leads to more money which can get him out of poverty. I would try to contact the abuse hotline it sounds like there is a lot of child neglect going on. No child should worry where they are going to sleep.
